SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 605,307, dated June 7, 1898. Application filed March 17, 1897. Serial No. 627,988. (No model.)

` To all whom it may concern:

wares for display in a store-window or"'the like and for other purposes; and it has for its object to provide a display-stand which in arrangement and construction of parts shall be of an artistic and serviceable form `and adapted to receive and hold Vvarious small goods or wares in a convenient and compact form, so as to display to good advantage the qualities of the same.

The invention consists in certain new and improved features of construction and arrangement Of parts, all as is hereinafter set forth in the following description, and the novel features of which are pointed out with particularity in the appended claim.

Of the drawings, Figure 1 shows in elevation my improved display-stand. Figs. 2 and 3 are details.

Referring to the drawings, A is a base or foot, which has formed therein an interiorly-A threaded socket a, into which is fitted the threaded extremity of an upright or standard b. The upright or standard b is threaded at its upper end, and to the said threaded end is fitted an interiOrly-threaded cap c, to which is fixed a clip d. At convenient intervals along its length the rod or upright b isitapped to receive the threaded extremities s of horizontal arms e, which are preferably constructed from lengths of Wire formed of spring metal and bent up at their outer ends and formed at that point into spring-clips e', consisting of two or more turns, which are preferably of the form shown in Fig. 2-that is to say, the said Outer ends of the Aarms e are coiled into a spring either of the shape shown in Fig. 3 or of the triangular shape Shown in Fig. 2. I prefer to form the clips of the triangular shape shown in Fig. 2, as I Iindin practice that this form permits of an article `being inserted between the sprin gs more easily than is the case when the clips are formed as in Fig. 3, though sometimes this fact is not material, and the form shown in Fig. 3 .may seem desirable.

The arrangement and construction of a display-stand such as I have described permits of a variety of artistic arrangements or groupings of goods or small wares upon the stand, the springclips holding or securing them firmly in place, at the same time in no way injuring or defacing said goods.

The clips formed on the arms @,f, and g are The upright b is also tapped y p to receive the threaded extremity of shorter preferably arranged so as that they lie in v a plane at right angles with the said arms in order that a collar or the like when inserted between the springs of the clips will lbe held or presented so as to display the same to the best advantage.

A,Having thus explained the nature of the invention and described a way of constructing and using the saine, though without attempting to set forth all of the forms in which it may be made or all of the modes of its use, it is declared that what is claimed is A displaystand embracing in its construction a base, a standard extending up from the base, radial arms e, f, g, screwed at their inner ends into the standard and provided on their outer ends with clip-coils, the shank of the arms @extending through the clip of the arm f, and the shankof the arm g extending through the clips of the arms e and f, as. set forth..

In testimony whereof I have ,signed myy 'March, A D. 1897;

. GEORGE I-I. BURNHAM.
